Description

This Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl features a quick and flavorful stir-fry of seasoned ground beef combined with vibrant bell peppers and onions, all tossed in a savory soy and oyster sauce mixture. Served over fluffy cooked rice and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, this dish is perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal packed with color and umami.

Ingredients

Protein & Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Carbohydrates & Garnish

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Once cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Peppers: Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened but still retain a slight crunch, enhancing the dish’s texture and flavor.
  3. Add Sauces and Sweetener: Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar into the skillet. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly, allowing the flavors to meld together as the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Toss with Rice and Garnish: Add the cooked rice to the skillet and gently toss everything together until the rice is heated through and fully combined with the flavorful beef and pepper mixture. Transfer the rice bowl to serving dishes and garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added freshness and crunch. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Feel free to substitute oyster sauce with hoisin sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • For a spicier kick, add some sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili flakes.
  • Use jasmine or basmati rice for the best texture with this dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
